NOTT News: We Here!!

We've arrived and have quickly settled into our 'flat-let'.

Reading & Watching

'Surprised by Hope' by Tom Wright - this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but before it.
Take this bread by Sara Miles - 'Raised an atheist... one morning she wandered into a church. As she ate a piece of bread and drank a sip of wine, she found herself radically transformed.'
Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom (one of my favorite authors) 'As is often the case with faith, I thought I was being asked a fovor. Actually, I was being given one...'
The Enemy - A Jack Reacher Novel by Lee Child. A stomach-churning, palm-sweating thriller in which Reacher imposes army discipline, even if it''s in his own pragmatic way.
The Two of Us: My life with John Thaw by Sheila Hancock (a double biography and a study of Britain from 1930 - 2004)
The English - Jeremy Paxman. 'Why do the English seem to enjoy feeling so persecuted? What is behind the English obsession with games? How did they acquire their odd attitudes to food?'
An Utterly Impartial History of Britain OR 2,000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge - John O'Farrell. 'Why did the Normans fight the Saxons at a place called Battle? Did they see the road signs and just think that's where they were supposed to go?'
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, quote: 'We need to forget what we think we are, so that we can really become what we are.'
The Economic Naturalist - Why Economics Explains Almost Everything. 'Why is there a light in your refrigerator but not in your freezer? Why are child safety seats required in cars but not in airplanes?'
'For One More Day' by Mitch Albom. “Life goes quickly, doesn't it?”
